Security benefits of vinyl replacement windows
Many of the high quality vinyl replacement windows offered by American Vision Windows have features such as the Cam Lock device, Continuous Interlock, and an Exterior Glaze on the glass itself. Both the Cam Lock device and the Continuous Interlock are locking mechanisms that greatly increase the security levels of the windows. The design of these devices does not allow for external opening of the window with objects such as credit cards, screwdrivers, or any other type of tool used to try to gain entry into your home. Furthermore, these devices seal the closure of the window which provides more strength and shelter from outside elements including wind and rain. The external glaze applied to vinyl replacement windows offered by American Vision Windows also contributes to the overall strength of the glass, as well as providing a protective coating from harmful UV rays. We will discuss this further in a moment. In addition, all of the windows installed by American Vision Windows are California Forced Entry Certified and have exceeded the toughest forced-entry resistance tests in the industry.
Energy Efficiency of vinyl replacement windows
All vinyl replacement windows installed by American Vision Windows are designed and manufactured to provide the highest levels of energy efficiency available. Traditional single pane windows set in aluminum framing can have an energy loss of up to 90 to 95%. With new vinyl replacement windows, that energy loss can be reduced to around 40% and the installation of triple pane windows can see an energy loss reduction down to 10 to 15%. This translates into major energy cost savings over the course of a year. Depending on your individual home size and amount of windows, you could see a savings of hundreds of dollars per year in saved energy costs.
Beauty created by new vinyl replacement windows
Oftentimes, the replacement of old windows with new vinyl replacement windows gives a home the look of a major makeover. Because the replacement windows are vinyl, they have a fresh new look that continues looking great for years. The vinyl window frames used by American Vision Windows is that of a warm white, not a blue/grey white, and they will not oxidize over time. With virtually limitless options available, vinyl replacement windows can be applied to almost any window opening specification or requirement.

- Internal Reinforced Screen Corners which offer a uniform finished look
- Matching Beveled Exteriors with angles that create an elegant appearance
- Installation Screw Hole Covers providing a clean, polished look
- Matching Internal Retrofit Fin offering uniform look between all windows installed and the absence of seams and joints prevents dirt from catching in angles on the frame.
Added functionality with vinyl replacement windows
Many older windows are difficult to operate for various reasons. New vinyl replacement windows by American Vision Windows are easy to operate. Many of our most popular windows are double hung and slider windows. Because the tracks are vinyl and fit properly, the windows lift and slide with ease.
The energy efficiency mentioned earlier is also seen in the construction of new vinyl replacement windows. Because of the snug fit of the security latch on the window itself along with premium weather stripping used by American Vision Windows, there is a seal created that is strong enough to withstand 80 mph winds while still remaining water tight. As a result, cold drafty air, condensation buildup, and allergens are kept at bay from entering your home.
The external glaze mentioned earlier not only protects you from harmful UV rays, it also protects your carpet and furniture from the suns rays which may cause surfaces to fade, crack, and peel. With UV coating on your windows, you have an added layer of protection against the suns harmful rays.
One major problem with single pane windows is that they do very little to keep out exterior noise from your home. The vinyl replacement windows American Vision Windows installs are made with double pane glass, and some with triple pane glass, ensuring that exterior sound is minimized as much as possible.
